Question 145024: Solve for x. Collect xs on the LEFT side. The solution should be presented with x first, the correct inequality symbol, then the number.
5(2x – 7) < -8
First, distribute the 5 to terms inside the parentheses:
10x – 35 < -8
Then add 35 to each side of the equation:
10x < 27
Finally, divide both sides by 10:
x < 27/10
